A wedding stationery shoot with Julia Ogden

A little while ago, I had the pleasure of working with local artist Julia Ogden.  I've long been an admirer of her work and we have a couple of her prints in the house, so when she asked me to take images of her new wedding stationery, I immediately knew it would be a beautiful shoot.

Julia is a fellow nature lover, and she's really inspired by the changing seasons and woodland.  There's a real joy and serenity to her work as you can see from these beautiful birdies. I was really excited when she said she was about to start offering a bespoke wedding stationery service, as I knew how beautiful and unique it would be.  Her stationery is a combination of hand drawn illustrations and text.  Julia then hand silk screen prints the wedding stationery.  Save the date, invites, bunting, order of service, place names, thank you cards, you name it!

I'll shut up and let Julia's work do the talking - starting with that gorgeous bunting!

And here's just a small selection of Julia's other work....

I thought I'd just share this new piece of work too.  I commissioned Julia to make a sign for some upcoming wedding exhibitions, and she came up with this gorgeous design, printed onto wood...

If you'd like to see more of Julia's work or wedding stationery collections - here's her website.  She also teaches other people how to draw.  I'm going to be taking the plunge next week when Julia runs a painting and drawing workshop in our studio on the 19th March - really looking forward to hopefully finding my inner painter.  You can find out more information here.  Maybe see you there!
